The Maryland College and Career Ready Standards (MCCRS) define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs. The framework incorporates the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts, the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for Science, and state-specific frameworks for Social Studies

COMAR (Code of Maryland Regulations) mandates specific instructional programs in core subjects (13A.04.14 for ELA, 13A.04.12 for Math, 13A.04.09 for Science, and 13A.04.08 for Social Studies).
Student achievement is assessed through the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) in ELA and Math (grades 3-8 and High School), the Maryland Integrated Science Assessment (MISA) for grades 5, 8, and High School, and the High School Assessment (HSA) for Government.
